….the aroma and emotion of the celebrations around Pujo.
Durga Puja - an emotion
Pujo goes much beyond just the religious significance - it is a mood set months in advance - comprising of bonding over food, dressing up, and much more.
One month away from the annual community festival of the Bengalis, our heart and mind have started vibrating to the rhythm of “Dhaak” , relaxing in the aroma of “Dhuno”. The thought of dressing up to mostly red and white with specks of color here and there, digging into yummy authentic food, even while sitting at home with a small group of friends, watching Pujo on zoom, while maintaining all protocols of safety norms.
In the last two years, life has been restricted to selective entertainment where we have started valuing these festivities and the activities around them that would bring us together as a community.
The trigger to this article?
The sheer enthusiasm of our Prathaa - Weaving Traditions , and their excitement to start their “pujor bazaar” was the first step to set them in the Pujo mood. That is how we thought of bringing together Prathaa’s bengali durga puja look in one place. Include sustainable eco-friendly clothing in your festive wardrobe and be a part of our conscious fashion journey.
